HC Deb 08 December 1975 vol 902 c13W
35. Sir John Hall

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what representations have been made to him about the time required to answer the 24-hour questionnaire entitled "Inquiry into Wholesaling and Dealing for 1974" issued by the business statistics office in Newport.

Mr. Deakins

One previous written Question and a few cases dealt with in correspondence by Ministers. The questions for completion by businesses take up 12 pages of the full questionnaire. There is a shorter form for smaller firms.—[Vol. 882, c.570–1].
